    Redesigning capex strategy : a groundbreaking systems approach to sustainably maximize company cash flow (2022)
    New York : McGraw-Hill
    Details
    ISBN: 9781264285303 , 1264285302

    Keywords: Cash management ; Business enterprises Finance ; Electronic books
    Abstract: The way most business leaders deploy capex right now is nothing short of a train wreck. Very few look at their asset base as a collective network; rather, they see their assets as standalone performers, have no strategy for the role each asset plays in the grand scheme of things, and, therefore, fail to invest in their network for the long term to generate more cash for the business, asset by asset. Redesigning Capex Strategy provides an effective—and almost painfully obvious—solution to some of the greatest missed opportunities happening in business today. In this resource that will revolutionize your capex decision-making, globally renowned capex strategists Fredrik Weissenrieder and Daniel Lindén share their proven methodology for focusing on the entire range of potential strategies and cash flow outcomes for hundreds of scenarios across a multi-asset base. It’s not about incremental improvement. It’s a radical transformation of how you allocate capital—and avoid throwing good money after bad. With a capex strategy that accounts for each asset’s role as part of the asset network, there’s never a question about the best path forward. Redesigning Capex Strategy doesn’t just redesign your capex strategy—it helps you redesign your entire company’s future.

    Abstract: Part starter-kit, part encyclopedia, and part inspiration, Self-Made Boss is an essential survival guide for small businesses When it comes to getting practical advice, small business owners too often don't know where to look. Sure, you can find all sorts of high-level strategic tips from Fortune 500 CEOs. But what if you own a restaurant, and you're trying to figure out how to source good fish, or if you're looking to increase revenue from your plumbing supply store? You'll be running a lot of Google searches before you hear from someone who's actually stood in your shoes. Longtime Square executives Jackie Reses and Lauren Weinberg want to change this. So they reached out across the country, talking to dozens of entrepreneurs with valuable businesses--and invaluable advice. This book is the product of that research. Part starter-kit, part encyclopedia, part inspiration, Self-Made Boss is filled with information not just about who these small business owners are, but how they built their companies, step by step. How did they get their start? When did they decide to hire more staff? How did they set a course for growth? And when problems arose, how did they fight through them? You'll hear from a second-generation ice cream shop owner on how to manage price increases; an oyster farmer finding new ways to stay afloat in the middle of a global pandemic; a roofer who refused to be denied or defined by her race and gender--and dozens of other small business owners making a big difference in their communities. No matter the size of your business today--or where you're thinking about taking the jump tomorrow--you'll find answers you can apply right away. Because there's a common purpose that all small business owners share: the drive to build something from the ground up; the relentless pursuit of turning obstacles into opportunities and roadblocks into stepping stones. It's tough and messy, hard-fought and hard-won. And above all, it's something you can't have when you work anywhere else--or for anyone else. That's what it means to be a Self-Made Boss.

    Abstract: "A renowned executive recruitment expert provides you with a playbook to implement systematic, repeatable, best-in-class hiring practices to give your business maximum competitive advantage. Data and analytics are reshaping countless industries as they turn from anecdotal to evidence-based practices. Yet while most aspects of business operations today rely on clearly defined measures of success that are continuously tracked and improved, in most organizations, hiring and recruitment is still run on intuition. Evidence-Based Recruiting flips that script, putting the power of big data and analytics to work for you. Written by the respected CEO of a pre-eminent specialized executive search firm, this book makes a case for best-in-class recruiting methods, showing how companies like Google and Netflix utilize evidence-based techniques to land top-tier talent, and how you can do the same by implementing systematic and repeatable processes that lead to better and more consistent hiring outcomes. You will be given the elements of an evidence-based approach, learn how to distinguish good evidence from bad, and understand why many hiring predictions fail-and what you can do about it. A must-read for CEOs, hiring managers, and human resources professionals, Evidence-Based Recruiting provides you with the tools you need to thrive in the new era of talent acquisition"--

    Abstract: Killing your current marketing structure may be the only way to save it! Two of the world's top marketing experts reveal the next level of breakthrough success-transforming your marketing strategy into a standalone profit center. What if everything we currently know about marketing is what is holding us back? Over the last two decades, we've watched the entire world change the way it buys and stays loyal to brands. But, marketing departments are still operating in the same, campaign-centric, product-led operation that they have been following for 75 years. The most innovative companies around the world have achieved remarkable marketing results by fundamentally changing their approach. By creating value for customers through the use of owned media and the savvy use of content, these businesses have dramatically increased customer loyalty and revenue. Some of them have even taken it to the next step and developed a marketing function that actually pays for itself. Killing Marketing explores how these companies are ending the marketing as we know it--in favor of this new, exciting model. Killing Marketing provides the insight, approaches, and examples you need to understand these disruptive forces in ways that turn your marketing from cost center to revenue creator. This book builds the case for, literally, transforming the purpose of marketing within your organization. Joe Pulizzi and Robert Rose of the Content Marketing Institute show how leading companies are able sell the very content that propels their marketing strategy. You'll learn how to: * Transform all or part of your marketing operation into a media company * Integrate this new operation into traditional marketing efforts * Develop best practices for attracting and retaining audiences * Build a strategy for competing against traditional media companies * Create a paid/earned media strategy fueled by an owned media strategy Red Bull, Johnson & Johnson, Disney and Arrow Electronics have succeeded in what ten years ago would have been deemed impossible. They continue to market their products as they always have, and, through their content-driven and audience-building initiatives, they drive value outside the day-to-day products they sell-and monetize it directly. Killing Marketing rewrites the rules of marketing-enabling you to make the kind of transition that turns average companies into industry legends.

    Abstract: A book for a different breed of business leader, one who looks beyond the moment to create a life of significance. Most of us are familiar with the traditional way of looking at legacy-something preserved in the past. Traditional legacy is all around us, evidenced by the steady churn of autobiographies, bequests, commemorations, and dedications we are forever leaving in our collective cultural wake. This is not the legacy you will find in this book. Legacy in the Making celebrates an active, dynamic form of "modern legacy," seen through the eyes of a select group of extraordinary men and women who are pursuing their enduring ambitions in the age of now. More than caretakers of the past, these modern legacy builders are also the authors of a vital today and tomorrow. Rather than leaving their legacies behind them, they are looking ahead to harness their long-term ambitions and inspire others to help carry them forward. These are not static, traditional legacies. These are legacies in the making.

    Abstract: The antidote to navigating turbulent times isn't more rules. It is timeless virtue that creates sustainable value. Thoughtful leaders are keenly aware of the enormous challenge they face to drive high performance in a world that continues to ratchet up pressure and uncertainty. Some leaders respond by getting tough and establishing strict rules. They get people in line, but they don't inspire excellence. Wise leaders, on the other hand, help their people practice character to navigate their way through the turbulence-without lowering performance expectations. As a result, their people are more reliable under pressure. Exception to the Rule links ancient wisdom with contemporary science on high performance, teamwork, and engagement. Building an organizational culture based on classical virtues- of trust, compassion, courage, justice, wisdom, temperance and hope - is both strategically smart and a better way to live. Exception to the Rule walks you through the steps of helping everyone in your organization focus on character defined by virtue. The word virtue means excellence, which is why each one is essential to help people perform at a high level despite uncertainty and pressure. Under character--based leadership, teams work better together, creativity flourishes and engagement increases. The most powerful idea of Exception to the Rule is this: character defined by virtue is not based on birthright; it can be learned and practiced. Everyone can develop habits to become better than they were. While character cannot be legislated, character can be cultivated. As virtue proves its value, the culture you have can evolve into the culture you need.

    Abstract: An indispensable guide to reducing the suffering-of patients and caregivers alike-and to improving healthcare delivery for all In our efforts to treat patients, cure illness, and manage institutions, healthcare professionals too often overlook the fundamental purpose everyone in the industry shares: to alleviate suffering. Press Ganey's Chief Nursing Officer, Christina Dempsey, has worked everywhere in healthcare, from the ward floor to the hospital boardroom. She has also experienced the system as a patient and as a family member of a critically ill patient. In The Antidote to Suffering , this 30-year healthcare veteran and patient-experience thought leader argues that the key to improving healthcare is to reduce the suffering-physical, psychological, and emotional-of patients and caregivers alike through Compassionate Connected CareTM. Drawing on her 360-degree perspective, Dempsey offers a comprehensive, detailed, evidence-based plan that addresses the clinical, operational, cultural, and behavioral dimensions of care that every patient and caregiver experiences, in every setting. When suffering decreases, Dempsey argues, outcomes improve for patients and those who care for them. A virtuous cycle takes hold, leading to increases in morale, loyalty, and productivity and results in a culture that drives quality, safety, and value. It paves the path for creating a new national healthcare culture-one that values compassion, fosters efficiency, and drives innovation The Antidote to Suffering is the first book to explore the pervasiveness of suffering in our healthcare system, and to provide the strategies and tools to: * Identify and measure suffering throughout your organization * Create a system in which every clinical response is informed by compassion * Operationalize staff behavior to promote meaning and purpose * Increase productivity by building a culture of collaboration Reducing human suffering isn't just a moral imperative for healthcare providers. It's a practical way to improve organizations and fix our broken system-without sacrificing the respect, dignity, and compassion we all deserve.

    Abstract: What do Mark Cuban, Steve Case, Sanjay Gupta, Donna Shalala, and Christina Aguilera all have in common? They are all Junior Achievement alumni who developed an entrepreneurial attitude about their life's work! In this landmark book, Larry Farrell, the world's most experienced authority on researching and teaching entrepreneurship, has partnered with JA to bring their combined vast experience directly to you. In The Entrepreneurial Attitude , Farrell reveals his latest research on the four fundamental practices of the world's greatest entrepreneurs: Sense of Mission, Customer/Product Vision, High-Speed Innovation, and Self-Inspired Behavior. He then brings those proven practices to life through interviews with seventy high-achieving JA alumni across 35 countries including AOL founder Steve Case, CNN medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta, British MP David Lammy, Hong Kong biotech entrepreneur Eric Chen, social entrepreneur Fernando Tamayo in Peru, non-profit pioneer Sheikha Hessa al-Khalifa in Bahrain, Journalist Adedayo Fashanu in Nigeria, and President of the Clinton Foundation Donna Shalala. This powerful combination illustrates for the first time that having an entrepreneurial attitude is the key to success in any career in any field: a business start-up or a large corporation, social enterprise, the traditional professions, government, or even the arts. Farrell also provides application planning exercises, helping you to apply the entrepreneurial basics to your own chosen field.

    Abstract: An industry insider reveals the next generation of marketing-and provides the insight you need to use it to beat the competition One of the hottest forms of advertising, native advertising is an extremely effective way to reach customers. Produced by marketers and featured alongside the main content, native advertising breaks down the traditional barrier between advertising and editorial. Industry insider and Hearst ad executive Mike Smith believes that native is not only here to stay, but is the future of marketing. The Native Advertising Advantage reveals why native advertising is an effective tool in any company's digital marketing strategy-and how to use it to build new revenue streams. Smith explains how native ads are blending in with their surrounding content to blur the traditional "church/state" divide of editorial versus advertising. He shows how publications as diverse as BuzzFeed, Forbes , Cosmopolitan , and The New York Times are attracting readers who are just as interested in the content of these native ads as they are of journalist-written editorial content Gleaned from dozens of interviews with advertisers, marketers, software developers, journalists, and publishers, the book reveals how native advertising fits into the marketing strategies and advertising budgets of successful companies such as GE, Intel, HP, Red Bull, ConAgra Foods, Pepsi, and others.

    Abstract: Proven retirement investing advice designed to meet the specific needs of physicians, attorneys, entrepreneurs, and other professionals In No One Loves Your Money Like You Do , financial guru Dr. James B. Jackson guides professionals through the challenge of retirement financial preparedness. Unlike the typical audience for retirement planning guides, these professionals have the luxury of a healthy income and a decent-sized nest egg, but they have large, illiquid assets (in the form of their practice) and complex partnership agreements to navigate. Jackson distills his decades of experience as a CFP (previous to which he was a practicing dentist) into practical, friendly advice for anyone who needs a hand in planning their retirement. Jim Jackson (Charleston, SC) is a Certified Financial Planner, who in the late 1980s founded Jackson Financial Co, Inc., a financial planning and registered investment advisory firm. As a partner in the newly formed JBJ Investment Partners, LLC, he continues to advise clients on investments and retirement planning, overseeing and managing assets for clients from coast to coast.

    Abstract: New York Times bestselling author Rodd Wagner tackles one of the most destructive problems facing organizations today-the breakdown of the relationship between employees and the organizations they work for "Your people are not your greatest asset. They're not yours, and they're not assets." With this declaration, one of the leading authorities on employee performance rolls up his sleeves against the weasel words, contradictions, bad habits, and intrusions that reduce people to "human resources." To "FTEs." To "human capital." To flesh-and-blood widgets. Armed with empirical evidence from the provocative studies he leads around the globe, Wagner guides you through the new realities of what it takes to get the highest levels of intensity from people in a more mercenary, skeptical, and wired work world. He explains how elements such as individualization, fearlessness, transparency, recognition, and coolness are reciprocated with loyalty, productivity, innovation, and--inescapably--corporate reputation.

    Abstract: The #1 Wall Street Journal Bestseller "Required reading. . . . Shows how our economic crisis was a failure, not of the free market, but of government." -Charles Koch, Chairman and CEO, Koch Industries, Inc. Did Wall Street cause the mess we are in? Should Washington place stronger regulations on the entire financial industry? Can we lower unemployment rates by controlling the free market? The answer is NO. Not only is free market capitalism good for the economy, says industry expert John Allison, it is our only hope for recovery. As the nation's longest-serving CEO of a top-25 financial institution, Allison has had a unique inside view of the events leading up to the financial crisis. He has seen the direct effect of government incentives on the real estate market. He has seen how government regulations only make matters worse. And now, in this controversial wake-up call of a book, he has given us a solution. The national bestselling The Financial Crisis and the Free Market Cure reveals: Why regulation is bad for the market-and for the world What we can do to promote a healthy free market How we can help end unemployment in America The truth about TARP and the bailouts How Washington can help Wall Street build a better future for everyone With shrewd insight, alarming insider details, and practical advice for today's leaders, this electrifying analysis is nothing less than a call to arms for a nation on the brink. You'll learn how government incentives helped blow up the real estate bubble to unsustainable proportions, how financial tools such as derivatives have been wrongly blamed for the crash, and how Congress fails to understand it should not try to control the market-and then completely mismanages it when it tries. In the end, you'll understand why it's so important to put "free" back in free market. It's time for America to accept the truth: the government can't fix the economy because the government wrecked the economy. This book gives us the tools, the inspiration-and the cure.

    Abstract: From the author of the bestselling Monday Morning series--an instructive, inspiring story on rebooting your life and career with the power of simple truths Ryan Harris has been floundering for too long. His career is off track, and his personal life is in shambles. In his own words, he feels like he has "been beaten up physically and emotionally for months." For the first time in his life, he knows he is unable to pull himself out of this funk by himself. Ryan turns to Jeff Walters, a personal coach and mentor he had once worked with. Ryan had always admired the way Jeff handled challenges and the success that always seemed to follow. Jeff agrees to coach Ryan every Tuesday morning for eight weeks. The story of Ryan's personal awakening, Tuesday Morning Coaching reveals the timeless truths anyone can rely on when success seems impossible. Jeff explains that real success lies in embracing the simple verities of life; it's more about how we live than what we do. Jeff reveals the eight basic truths of success, including: No Matter What . . . accept your responsibilities, maintain focus, and move forward And Then Some . . . give a little more than people expect Above All Else . . . know what is nonnegotiable at work and in life From Now On . . . learn from your failures and refuse to make the same mistake twice Consider It Done . . . deliver on your word, without fail You will learn, as Ryan does, that you have been getting in your own way.

    Abstract: SEIZE THE ADVANTAGE IN THE GLOBAL WAR FOR MARKET SHARE Winner of the 2013 Small Business Book Award - Top 10 Overall The newest economic behemoth, China, is snatching market share from the U.S., Japan, and Europe at an alarming rate. But China isn't alone. The world's largest producers of biofuel, meat, consumer electronics, regional jets, baked goods, candy, and many other products are all emerging market multinationals (EMMs). And industries poised to be taken over by EMMs include personal computers, IT services, mining, wind turbines, and cement. The balance of power in the global economy is shifting. Are you in a position to compete with the most energetic, imaginative companies on the planet? In Emerging Markets Rule , two experts on the global shift in economic hegemony explain what is happening, why it is happening--and how you can prevent it from happening to you. The authors provide an action plan based on leaner, more operationally proficient ways for maintaining the competitive advantage based on seven new axioms of global competitiveness: Execute, strategize, and execute again Cater to the niches Scale to win Embrace chaos Acquire smart Expand with abandon No sacred cows! Emerging market multinationals are here to stay; they're not going to go away, even when the global economy rights itself. "What began as a necessity--a kind of guerilla-business warfare against the corporate superpowers--has now evolved into best practices and is on its way to becoming what everyone needs to know," the authors write. "Simply put, down is up. The weak have become strong." You need to learn these new "best practices" now because tomorrow will be too late. Emerging Markets Rule is your road map for business success in the increasingly competitive, chaotic global markets. "Emerging-market multinationals have reshaped global competition. Using well-articulated views duly substantiated with facts, this book explains why and how they have become formidable players in both high-technology and traditional industries. This book is a worthy read for businesses and individuals alike seeking to comprehend the phenomenon of the emerging market multinational." -- S. D. Shibulal, CEO and Managing Director , Infosys "This book shows the strength and potential of companies that stand out in emerging markets, reaffirming entrepreneurship, innovation, and sustainability as fundamental factors for the outbreak of global competitors." -- Alessandro Carlucci , CEO, Nat...

    Abstract: Elevate Capacity AND Drive Growth Now--Without Adding Headcount Management "As leaders, we like to think we control everything, and it's just not true--externals now drive the business. Learn to let go, learn to bring out the best in every employee!" -- Jim Farley, Group VP Global Marketing, Sales & Service, Ford Motor Company "One of the things we'll look back on 30 years from now is that this no-normal world has forced a higher quality of leadership than any other era in history. Bring Out the Best in Every Employee is the ultimate leader's handbook to that higher ground!" -- Howard Morgan, Managing Director, The Leadership Research Institute "One Fortune organization once reported that it interviewed one million people annually, that it hired 125,000 of them--and that their net productivity gain was only 15,000 employees! This paradox demonstrates the imperative of learning how to bring out the best in every employee you have." -- C.D. "Hoop" Morgan III, founder and Chairman, The Forté Institute "The productivity of our workforce has to rise with the times. This book is the leader's guide to starting that process, and to stopping the self-imposed barriers of the ego." -- Chuck Sykes, President and CEO , Sykes Enterprises " Bring Out the Best in Every Employee shows you how to expand your team's capacity--without adding a single headcount!" -- Tim Srock, VP Human Resources, McLaren Regional Medical Center Are You Capturing the Full Potential of Your Workforce? With employee dissatisfaction at an all-time high and job security more tenuous than ever, today's managers are scrambling to motivate their teams, often at great cost. If you're like most, it has been next to impossible to elevate capacity without increasing headcount--until now. Workplace performance experts Don Brown and Bill Hawkins have created a revolutionary approach to energizing your team. Now you can drive growth--by targeting and empowering the right people. Bring Out the Best in Every Employee shows you exactly how to leverage the untapped asset that's already on your payroll. The fact is, most managers devote so much time to either high-potential or high-problem employees that they neglect the critical mass at the top of the bell curve. And they can mean the difference between surviving . . . and thriving. This is an essential road map for any manager who wants to: Identify and target the "core" of his or her team Discover what the "silent majority" of the workforce actual...

    Abstract: Lead your people to excellence using the time-honored values of one of America's most successful institutions As one of America's most honored institutions, West Point has produced some of the greatest leaders in the history of the nation--and the world. For almost a century, West Point's men and women have been both informed and inspired by the "Cadet Prayer"--a simple but profound set of moral precepts for those who aspire to realize in their lives and work as leaders the ideals and principles of West Point. Imagine if business had a similar compass for leadership . . . Using the "Cadet Prayer" and the Academy's developmental model as a foundation, U.S. Army veteran and West Point professor Don M. Snider and his colleagues lay the groundwork for achieving leadership success in any business. Snider's assertion is this: In leadership, moral character comes first. Without it, skills, competence, and even vision are useless. Here are just a few of the leadership axioms from the "Cadet Prayer": Strengthen and increase our admiration for honest dealing and clean thinking Make us to choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong Endow us with courage that is born of loyalty to all that is noble and worthy Guard us against flippancy and irreverence in the sacred things of life Grant us new ties of friendship and new opportunities of service Honesty. Transparency. Loyalty. Service. These aren't "soft" traits. The're the nuts and bolts of quality leadership. They're the hallmark of authentic leadership for the sake of it. And they are the rock-solid foundation on which stand leadership success and all that comes with it. "In leadership ," Snider writes, "being precedes doing." This timeless truth is the first step toward leadership excellence in any walk of life. The Warrior's Character will take you the rest of the way. West Point's nondenominational "Cadet Prayer" has instilled the values of moral leadership in its cadets for nearly 100 years. In The Warrior's Character , Retired U.S. Army Colonel Don Snider and his colleagues provide a look into West Point's development of leaders of character through the moral precepts found in the prayer and the Army's seven primary, timeless values: LOYALTY * DUTY * RESPECT * SERVICE * HONOR * INTEGRITY * COURAGE All added up, they form the foundation on which great leadership is built-in the military, in business, in life. The Warrior's Character provides the inspiration and knowledge you need to becom...

Since the day the first human being approached a prospective investor, the province of capital allocation has been controlled by a small and entrenched minority. All this has changed. Now, the power of the Internet-particularly social media-enables anyone to connect with more investors in less time than it used to take to connect with one. The investing pool is open, everyone is in-and The Crowdfunding Revolution shows how to get to the forefront of the new world of venture financing. This groundbreaking guide explains how the explosive growth of connectivity is obviating human-to-human networks and centralized planning of capital allocation-and describes how crowdfunding can be used to tap into a "collective intelligence" for far superior results. Providing a wealth of information that will make your crowdfunding efforts more efficient and productive, the book is organized into three thematic sections: THE ROAD HERE: A thorough overview of what crowdfunding is-and how and why this radical new approach is replacing traditional means of venture financing THE CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGN: Proven methods for marketing to the crowd, setting clear objectives, building a crowdfunding team, and communicating in a way that inspires action THE ROAD AHEAD: The crowdfunding ecosystem, intellectual property issues, mini...

    Abstract: What does every employee want? In a word: RESPECT The best leaders are the ones who motivate employees to want to perform at the highest level possible--which is never accomplished with an iron-fist style of management. The best results are achieved through one of the most basic human behaviors: the showing of respect. Organizational change expert Paul Meshanko has studied how the human brain responds in various workplace situations--and his conclusion is astonishing: People perform at their highest level when treated with respect. Conversely, when an employee is emotionally attacked by disrespectful behavior, he or she shuts down. In The Respect Effect , Meshanko reveals the transformational power of respect in the workplace. Given the pressures of the workplace, this is sometimes easier said than done. So Meshanko provides a practical action plan you can use to train yourself or others to get on track--and stay on track. His proven strategy helps you understand the initial, biological reactions to what people (This means you!) say and do. Through his cited research in neuroscience, Meshanko teaches you how to create positive situations, avoid negative ones, and ultimately build a better work environment for everyone. The Respect Effect explains: The hard science proving why respect is the most powerful employee motivator How to build a corporate culture based on respect, starting with senior leadership The 12 Rules of Respect--simple but powerful ways to communicate respectfully in any situation The strategy, resource requirements, and tools for sustaining a respectful workplace culture How do you use the concept of neuroscience to achieve a great work environment? The answer is obvious. Feed others a diet of respect--real, deserved, genuine respect--and you will see amazing things happen in your organization. Use Meshanko's proven approach to organizational change to create a culture of contagious respect in your organization. PRAISE FOR THE RESPECT EFFECT : " The Respect Effect reminds us of the critical role relationships play in the workforce. . . . A great read for new and experienced leaders!" -- ANNEMARIE M. GRASSI, PH.D., CEO, Open Doors Academy " The Respect Effect offers concise, engaging learning, not only for business leaders, but for anyone working in an organization where developing an inclusive and productive work environment is a priority. Respect is a powerful principle for businesses to understand and practice--this book wi...

    Abstract: FROM THE CREATORS OF SPIN SELLING-TRIED-AND-TRUE STRATEGIES TO ARM YOU IN THE WAR FOR SALES SUPREMACY "I distinctly remember my first VP talking about 'campaigns' and 'targets.' Indeed, successful salespeople have made learning from military tactics an important aspect of their careers. In this engaging read chock-full of practical and richly illustrated examples, John Golden provides strategies that are sure to increase even the most seasoned sales pros' success rates. It's a completely new take on sales education with powerful lessons you'll use to win your own sales battles." -- David Meerman Scott, bestselling author of The New Rules of Marketing and PR "There's no doubt salespeople will profit from the book's focus on besting one's opponent in a battleground much changed by the information explosion of the Internet." -- William Dermody, World/Military Affairs Editor, USA Today "An innovative and very insightful perspective on what it really takes to win." -- Dave Stein, CEO and founder, ES Research Group, Inc.

    Abstract: The name W. Edwards Deming is synonymous with the most insightful views, ideas, and commentary on management and quality control. Referred to as "the high prophet of quality" by the New York Times , Deming was instrumental in the spectacular rise of Japanese industry after World War II and influenced many of the world's most innovative managers in the ensuing decades. His original ideas led directly to the creation of relationships with suppliers and a plethora of quality initiatives. Now, with The Essential Deming , Fordham University professor and Deming expert Joyce Orsini draws on a wealth of previously unavailable material to present the legendary thinker's most important management principles in one indispensable volume. The book is filled with articles, papers, lectures, and notes touching on a wide range of topics, but which focus on Deming's overriding message: quality and operations are all about systems, not individual performance; the system has to be designed so that the worker can perform well. The Essential Deming reveals Deming's unique insight about: How poor management infects an entire organization The critical importance of management on producing quality products and services Improving management in any company The effective management of people--the manager's single most important task How to educate workers into critical thinkers Ways to preserve statistical integrity while dealing with real-world problems Fully authorized by the Deming estate and published in cooperation with The W. Edwards Deming Institute, The Essential Deming is the first book to distill Deming's life's worth of thinking and writing into a single source. Orsini provides expert commentary throughout, delivering a powerful, practical guide to superior management. With The Essential Deming, you have the rationale, insight, and best practices you need to transform your organization. "To move from the wilderness of news into the paths of history, we must distinguish true turning points from mistaken ones. W. Edwards Deming has seen the future and it works. He is a turning point of business history made flesh." -- U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT "I engaged Dr. Deming to assist Ford in planning, developing, and implementing the plans to accomplish major improvement in the way people worked together and in the quality of our products. . . . Ford achieved major success in this effort, and I consider Ed Deming to have been a key element in our progress." -- DONALD E....

    Abstract: A BREAKTHROUGH FORMULA FOR REACHING TOP DECISION MAKERS AND INFLUENCERS " SOAR Selling is a mission-critical tool for building lasting, profitable relationships. David and Marhnelle go far beyond defining a sales process by rolling up their sleeves to share their secret about what you absolutely must do to get in anywhere." -- Marcus Buckingham, New York Times bestselling author, researcher, motivational speaker, and business consultant "SOAR Selling is essential for any professional organization committed to sales excellence that delivers a superior customer experience." -- Mel Parker, Vice President and General Manager North America, Dell Consumer "SOAR's integrity and efficacy not only help overcome cold-call-phobia; SOAR turns anyone who's motivated to sell into a cold-call-master. SOAR's proven and effective way 'to get through' has achieved unmatched results for Vistage Chairs who are determined to reach and convert CEOs and other executives to Vistage membership. SOAR tips and tools have really propelled our business to SOAR." -- Rafael Pastor, Chairman of the Board and CEO, Vistage International " SOAR Selling teaches salespeople a measurable calling strategy and process that can dramatically improve their ability to reduce their call volume and increase the number of appointments." -- Gerhard Gschwandtner, Publisher, Selling Power "When it comes to driving net new business, SOAR has been at the forefront of the Berlin Company strategy because it works!" -- Andrew T.

SOAR Selling presents a solution to this critical problem by revealing by a proven way for any salesperson to make fewer calls, reach more decision makers, and, most important, get more appointments. The authors have tested the SOAR (Surge of Accelerating Revenue) Selling formula on thousands of live sales calls throughout key global markets. The results are staggering. According to the authors' client research, SOAR is astonishingly effective. SOAR provides a combination contact rate with decision mak...

Act Fast, Learn Fast- Make your move quickly, but be sure you don't squander valuable resources in the process. Communicate Powerfully- Assume communication will break down at points, plan accordingly-and don't shy away from the tough conversations. Create a Smart Risk Culture- Build teams that share the same mindsets and values about expected smart risk behavior. Applying Sundheim's advice will help you let go of old assumptions, explore new possibilities, move your organization out of its comfort zone, and experience long-term success. When you take smart risks, you will create. You will innovate. You will grow. And you will WIN. "From Sherwin Williams to Moo.com, Doug Sundheim is onto something here: your work is worth fighting for. A worthy read for everyone in your organization." -Seth Godin, Author, The Icarus Deception "The risk-taking concepts in this book lie at the heart of effective leadership. Using case studies and stories from executives who have 'been there, done that,' Doug Sundheim teaches us that sometimes the most dangerous thing to do-in business and life-is to play it safe." -Marshall Goldsmith, million-selling author of the New York Times bestsellers MOJO and What Got You Here Won't Get You There "Sundheim delivers a message that every business needs to hear right now: excessive risk will kill you, but so will complacency. . . .

    Abstract: Discover the power of KAIZEN to make lasting and powerful change in your organization "Maurer uses his knowledge of the brain and human psychology to show what I have promoted for the past three decades-that continuous improvement is built on the foundation of people courageously using their creativity. Kaizen is much more than a world-class management practice; it is a technique to remove fear from our mind's mind, enabling us to take small steps to better things. The process of change starts with awareness and desire in our minds and then leads to action and change in the physical world. Readers of this book will surely fi nd new ideas and encouragement to make improvements in personal health, performance at work, and their own well-being." -Masaaki Imai, Chariman, Kaizen Institute KAIZEN : The Small-Step Step Solution for You and Your Company Today's businesses love the idea of revolutionary, immediate change. But major "disruptive" efforts often fail because radical change sets off alarms in our brains and shuts down our power to think clearly and creatively. There is, however, a more effective path to change. Change that is lasting and powerful. Change that begins with one small step . . . It's The Spirit of Kaizen -a proven system for implementing small, incremental steps that can have a big impact in reaching your goals. This step-by-step guide from renowned psychologist and consultant Dr. Robert Maurer shows you how to: Lower costs-by offering little rewards Raise quality-by reducing mistakes Manage difficult people- one step at a time Boost morale and productivity- in five minutes a day Implement big ideas-through small but steady actions Sell more-in less time Filled with practical tips and ready-to-use tools for managers, innovators, and entrepreneurs, The Spirit of Kaizen is the essential handbook for a changing world. You'll learn how to think outside the suggestion box, remove mental blindfolds, manage stress with one-minute exercises, and handle rising health-care costs. You'll discover the "small step" secrets for dealing with all kinds of people, from tough bosses and listless workers to stubborn clients and fussy customers. These simple but powerful techniques can be applied to almost any workplace situation, especially when you're trying to navigate the stormy waters of radical change, high-pressure deadlines, and cutthroat competition. These are the same methods of small, continual improvement that have been tested by the l...

    Abstract: Turn mentoring into PROFITS There's no doubt that the concept of workplace mentoring is a hot-button issue facing management today. With managers under extraordinary pressure to cut costs, streamline operations, and increase productivity, the role of mentors has become more critical than ever-particularly since studies show leaders who mentor get promoted faster and earn significantly more than those who don't. But as with any growing workplace trend, questions remain about how to utilize mentoring so you get tangible and profitable results. This book, from two of the world's foremost experts on business learning and employee development, answers those questions. Becoming an Effective Mentoring Leader breaks down the essentials of mentoring, and shows you how to take advantage of this valuable new workplace dynamic. You'll learn: The smartest way to incorporate mentoring into your day-to-day leadership role The fastest way to equip, inspire, and motivate your staff The differences between mentoring, coaching, and teaching How you as a leader can rate the mentors in your office - and assess the progress of mentees Using case studies, tools, and impactful learning concepts, the authors show you how to use mentoring's "core skills" to create a winning approach tailored to your own style, be it the "reflective mentor," the "storytelling mentor," or "the example-based mentor." The book also features several appendices and FAQs, handouts, and worksheets to gauge competencies among mentors and mentees, and a blueprint with steps to set up one's own companywide program. As today's biggest industry leaders continue to recognize the profound effect mentoring has on performance and profitability, there's never been a better time to put this book's essential tools to work for you.

    Abstract: THE ESSENTIAL MARKETING WISDOM OF PETER DRUCKER "Bill Cohen has done us a wonderful service by faithfully combing through Peter Drucker's vast writings and weaving together Peter's thoughts on marketing. This has never been done before." -- Philip Kotler, from the Foreword Considered the single most important thought leader in the world of management, Peter Drucker had an equally significant influence on the discipline of marketing. Although he didn't approach marketing with the same systematic rigor he reserved for management, Drucker addressed the topic in detail in his wellknown treatises on the roles of profitability and leadership, the importance of innovation, and the need to seize new opportunities. Drucker on Marketing is the first comprehensive look at the marketing wisdom of one of modern history's most influential business thinkers.

The book is organized into five thematic sections: The Ascendancy of Marketing Innovation and Entrepreneurship Drucker's Marketing Strategy New Product and Service Introduction Drucker's Unique Marketing Insights For Drucker, profitability should not be the main focus of a business. The customer should be; the market should be. He didn't consider marketing as one of many tools to generate profits. Rather, he viewed marketing as the driving force of business, a philosophy for defining and capturing the most enriching customer opportunities. Providing unique insight into the mind of one of the twentieth century's greatest thinkers, Drucker on Marketing is an essential read for both marketing professionals and fans of Peter Drucker. Praise for Drucker on Marketing "Bill Cohen's interpretation of Drucker's work has never been needed more than today, when marketing spells the difference between success and failure." -- Frances Hesselbein, President and CEO, The Frances Hesselbein Leadership Institute "It is my desire that those in positions of influence, especially executives, professors, and students, take Cohen's advice in this book to heart and help their organizations to help us all." -- Joseph A. Maciariello, Horton Professor of Management, The Drucker School of Management, and c...
